Listening lecture: Micronutrient deficiencies

12th April and 17th April at 14pm to 16pm

I think these two lectures about micronutrient deficiencies were the most interest lectures of this nutrition course, but maybe even ever. It was also easy to listen because speaker was Riitta Freese, and she spoke good english and it has become clear that finnish people speak quite good and understandable english. Chinese, Indian and japanese peoples pronunciation is not always very clear.

An example of micronutrient  deficiency disorder: anemia
1. Iron deficiency: hemoglobin synthesis decreases
- copper and vitamin A defiencies cause iron metabolism disturbed and so cause anemia
2. Folate deficiency: disturbed DNA synthesis
-B12 defiency cause disturbed folate metabolism  and so cause anemia

=> Not easy, but SO SO INTRESTING!!!

Time: 4 hours
